Police: Armed man robs Curry Donuts in Pittston

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins got a little revenge by topping the Portland Pirates 5-0 on the road Saturday night.The Penguins were led by a 34-save shutout from Tristan Jarry and goals from one player on each of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton&#8217;s four forward lines.Scott Wilson scored his league-leading 20th goal of the season on the power play at 11:24 of the first period, putting the Penguins into a 1-0 lead. With a secondary assist on Wilson&#8217;s goal, Will O&#8217;Neill captured his 100th career AHL assist.The Penguins scored on yet another power-play goal at 2:56 after Wilson&#8217;s go-ahead goal, this time with Tom Sestito getting credit for tipping in a point shot from Clark Seymour.Josh Archibald lifted the Penguins to a 3-0 lead with a breakaway goal that appeared to be stopped by Pirates goalie Mike McKenna, but the puck&#8217;s momentum carried it across the goal line at 8:47 of the second period.Sahir Gill slid a shot through McKenna&#8217;s five-hole, giving Wilkes-Barre/Scranton a 4-0 lead at 5:48 of the third frame.The Penguins boosted their score to 5-0 after a third power play goal of the contest came from the stick of Tom Kostopoulos at 10:52 of the final period.The Penguins finished the game three-for-six on the power play, and shut down Portland on six man advantage attempts of their own.Jarry&#8217;s 34 saves gave him his third clean sheet of the season, and his shutout served as the eighth for all Penguins goalies this season.<div class="metaInfo"><bylineMeta>Times Leader</bylineMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><shirttailMeta>Reach Times Leader sports at 570-991-6397</shirttailMeta></div>
